provided)
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped
with a Global Positioning System
(GPS) Navigation Radio, the vari-
ance and calibration menu will be
eliminated.
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer is
located in the instrument cluster and
features a driver-interactive display
which provides outside temperature,
compass direction, and trip informa-
tion. NOTE: The system will display
the last known outside tempera-
ture when starting the vehicle and
may need to be driven several min-
utes before the updated tempera-
ture is displayed. Engine tempera-
ture can also affect the displayed
temperature; therefore, tempera-
ture readings are not updated
when the vehicle is not moving.
